Proposed Submission Local Plan: strategy and sites 2016

The Proposed Submission Local Plan: strategy and sites sets out the vision for the borough and the Council’s approach to development between 2013 and 2033. When adopted the plan will play an important role in shaping Guildford’s future – how our towns and villages develop, protecting and enhancing our natural environment, developing our local economy, improving leisure and visitor facilities and supporting more sustainable forms of travel.

The Proposed Submission Local Plan has taken into consideration the comments submitted during previous consultations held on the Council’s Issues and Options document (autumn 2013) and draft Local Plan (summer 2014).
